I was tired of my glasses always sliding down when working out so I bought these silicon hooks. Five pairs for $4 on Amazon. Worked like a charm. Photo from Amazon listing.

If you haven't seen Tyler Perry's "Straw" on Netflix, I highly recommend it. It held my attention from beginning to end. Definitely did not expect that ending.

Looking forward to my first trip to NYC but wish it was for more than a day and a half. At least the meeting I have to be at is only 2 to 3 hours so that gives me more free time to explore.

Rule #1 when sharing your screen: Check your browser tabs before you start sharing.

I think it's lame you can't connect a Roku to a wireless network if there is no Internet access. My modem may be down but I would still like to stream media from my local @jellyfin server.

Four years ago, I worked a project for a customer and they sent me two laptops. The project ended six months later. I tried for almost a year to send them back but no ever one responded. Today, after 3.5 years of them sitting in a box in my office, I received a return label.

Finished up testing week at the gym. I went up 5 pounds on bench press (230) and 10 pounds on deadlift (350) but stayed the same on back squat (315). I could have got more on the squat but I wasn't hitting depth. Five pounds isn't much on bench but it's still a win.

I am not educated in shipping logistics but I don't think USPS chose the best path for the battery I ordered. It has gone:

Plainfield, IL
Chicago, IL
Nashville, TN
Chicago, IL
Fox Valley, IL
Chicago, IL
Nashville, TN

Let's see if it goes back to Chicago or is delivered soon.

Cisco has released a final summary around the alleged #breach of #Cisco DevHub that occurred last October by a user named IntelBroker on BreachForums.

PM: It's really important that you're on this customer call. They need your input on a few things.

Number of words I spoke on the two hour call: 0

Anyone else ran into an issue with losing all their free space after upgrading to macOS 15.x and enabling Apple AI? My free space fluctuated between 130 GB and 150 MB. When it got too low, my laptop would crash.

The only way to "fix" it was to disable AI and Spotlight. Once I did that, my free space is staying over 300 GB. Here are the before/after pics showing the system data difference. I have re-enabled Spotlight for Apps and Folders and the free space is staying consistent.

Not sure why I get this a lot when trying to log into different Microsoft accounts. I've tried 3 different browsers, on/off VPN, etc. and nothing helps outside of keep trying until it works.

Setting up Cisco CML 2.8 on Proxmox VE was surprisingly easy. It is humming right along and everything works as expected. No, it's not an officially supported hypervisor. I don't care.

Trying to set up a spare Dell R720 I have as a CML server but iDRAC isn't initializing. I tried all the steps found online to fix it (NVRAM reset, SD card recovery, etc) and none work. The only option, it seems, is to replace the motherboard.

I bought a new case for my S24. It's an ESR brand. I was hesitant due to the low price, but it's a really nice case.

We are always told to "Jump in if you hear anything that's not right" during customer calls. Sometimes, I don't do that right away because I want to see where they go with it.

Sitting on a call last week and was told by the PM that I'm no longer required to attend since I'm moving off the project. Received a message this morning from the same PM asking if I was going to join the call.

The plan for this week is to finally, after way too long, finish up the Firepower training. It's kind of embarrassing how long it's taken due to getting distracted and dissuaded during previous attempts to finish.

Finally made it home after being stuck on the Interstate for 3 hours due to a wreck (icy patch on the road). After the leg workout this morning, getting out of the car after sitting that long was not enjoyable.

Returning to work after two weeks off is rough. I need a buffer day for jumping back into these emails and calls.
